resultant forces and work done

• the resultant force is the single force calculated from the forces acting on an object
• when a force moves an object through a distance, energy is transferred and work is done on the object
• to measure the resultant force in a question you to draw the forces acting on the object and draw a line to connect to the first force and the end of the last force to form a triangle which is the resultant force. then use a protractor to measure the angle for the direction as a bearing
